Even after the Cid he seems to be not as good as vinny, cyrenia, and harby when it comes to running exemplars, anyone has a viable list for the Grand exemplar himself?

This was a point I raised several times during CID, to no avail. When you play him, he feels OK. Like, way better than before. But when you step back and look at the faction, you realize he’s still WAY back in the line to even be the best EI caster, let alone overall. Its kinda frustrating.

Yeah they got a crapload if overwhelming feedback about how he was not working, what needed to be addressed, and why. As well as some pretty creative suggestions on how to change or address the issues and they just ignored it all.

He's a hard counter to def skews, and he's better than his previous version, but still unlikely to make competitive pairings unless the meta changes. Vinny probably gets hosed by def skew, for example.

His key problem is he overlaps too much with cyrenia, harbinger and thyra, who are probably top tier infantry casters. What's worst is he will never see play outside of EI.

Any thoughts on using him with a bunch of Templars and making use of Battle-Charged in Faithful Masses?

my thoughts originally, but then you're wasting the tough and sacrosanct

What so great about templars? I'm assuming beat back doesn't work out of activation, coz if it did we might as well go purifier spam. If anything indictors and countercharge is good for throwing a spanner in enemy order of activations. Also sacrosanct is still a niche ability so wouldnt build a list for it.
